* ''Con Man'': The 2018 movie about the live of ZZZZ Best founder Barry Minkow was set to have Minkow play an older version of himself[[note]]the younger version of Minkow was played by a then-unknown Creator/JustinBaldoni[[/note]] in what was intended as a RedemptionQuest story about how Minkow used the carpet-cleaning company he started while in high school as a Ponzi scheme, only to go to prison; supposedly repenting of his past deeds and working as a pastor in San Diego and founder of a fraud-busting firm called [[FunWithAcronyms Fraud Discovery Institute]]. Notably, Minkow's own actions ended up undermining the film's original premise[[note]]the film began production in 2011 under the name ''Minkow''; but by that time Minkow had pleaded guilty to a single count of insider trading following a 2009 attempt to short the stock of Lennar Corporation following his FDI issuing a report claiming Lennar was engaged in significant fraud. More significantly; in 2014 Minkow pleaded guilty to a separate charge of church fraud after members of the church he pastored from 1997 until his resignation following his 2011 insider trading guilty plea accused him of swindling over $3 million, including one woman accusing him of defrauding her out of $300,000 that was used in part to fund the movie[[/note]]

* Silent-era actress and UsefulNotes/RMSTitanic survivor Dorothy Gibson starred as herself in the now [[MissingEpisode lost]] film ''Saved from the Titanic'', which also happened to be the first dramatization of the disaster, released shortly after the sinking. While the film's producers did go through the effort of ensuring authenticity, going so far as to incorporating stock footage of Captain Edward Smith and the ''Titanic'' herself, as well as Dorothy even wearing the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Dorothy_Gibson_-_Titanic.jpg actual clothes]] she wore during the sinking, it came at great personal cost to Gibson who was deeply affected by PTSD; the trauma she had both from the tragedy and the film's production would force her to retire prematurely from acting.
